The pumpkins have been carved and the fireworks are in the biscuit tin ready to go! I am still to choose the Christmas photo and thought I would share some of my tips for choosing the perfect photo for to your Christmas card, photo insert or birth announcement:
- Choose a Christmas card design that reflects you and your family
- If you like a few you could order more than one design or have both a card and a photo insert
- Select a coordinating photo that’s sweet and simple—avoid busy backgrounds or too much action
- Think about the colours on both your photo and your card design —black and white photos tend to look best with a brightly coloured design, and you will want to avoid using a sepia toned photo with a brown card
- Keep it simple—too many frills or colors will ruin the elegance of your message!
- Make sure you’re camera is on the highest quality setting on your digital camera, ideally try to ensure the resolution is 300 and the image size is at least 800 x 1200 pixels
Can’t wait to see your festive choices!
